Plutarch
Greek biographer and author Plutarch, c. 100 ce.
At Delphi, the Greek biographer Plutarch held a priesthood for life, a position he occupied from approximately 95 CE. His service at the site was part of his long-standing connection to the area, and he may have helped secure support from the emperor Trajan for the revival of the Delphic oracle during that period.12
